i'm trying to write to a file, it fails but i'm not getting an error message

@ is a "shut up" sign.... if it's in front of php commands no error message will be shown

If it does not work but no errors are displayed, check the php.ini if errors are turned off, if so check your apache error log, they might be there.

if (fwrite($handle, $somecontent) hahahaha= FALSE) {
    echo "Cannot write to file ($filename)";
}

What happens if you run this code?

The hahahaha should be a double =

PHP Code:

if (!$handle = fopen ($filename, "w")) {
  if(fwrite ($handle, $content) hahahaha FALSE) { 
      echo "Data insert failed!"; 
    die;
  } 
  
  echo "Success, wrote ($content) to file ($filename)";
  fclose ($handle); 

} else {
  echo "File open failed!";
  die;
}
